Abstract

The conformationally restricted, spatially defined macrocyclic ring system of formula (I) is constituted by three distinct molecular parts: Template A, conformation Modulator B and Bridge C. Macrocycles described by this ring system I are readily manufactured by parallel synthesis or combinatorial chemistry in solution or on solid phase. They are designed to interact with a variety of specific biological target classes, examples being agonistic or antagonistic activity on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), inhibitory activity on enzymes or antimicrobial activity. In particular, these macrocycles show inhibitory activity on endothelin converting enzyme of subtype 1 (ECE-1) and/or the cysteine protease cathepsin S (CatS), and/or act as antagonists of the oxytocin (OT) receptor, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptor and/or leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor, and/or as agonists of the bombesin 3 (BB3) receptor, and/or show antimicrobial activity against at least one bacterial strain. Thus they are showing great potential as medicaments for a variety of diseases.

Description

DESCRIPTION

[0001] Macrocyclic natural and synthetic products have played a crucial role in the development of new drugs, especially as anti-infectives (F. von Nussbaum, M. Brands, B. Hinzen, S. Weigand, D. Habich, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 2006, 45, 5072-5129; D. Obrecht, J. A. Robinson, F. Bernardini, C. Bisang, S. J. DeMarco, K. Moehle, F. O. Gombert, Curr. Med. Chem. 2009, 16, 42-65), as anti-cancer drugs and in other therapeutic areas (C. E. Ballard, H. Yu, B. Wang, Curr. Med. Chem. 2002, 9, 471-498; F. Sarabia, S. Chammaa, A. S. Ruiz, L. M. Ortiz, F. J. Flerrera, Curr. Med. Chem. 2004, 11, 1309-1332). They often display remarkable biological activities, and many macrocycles or their derivatives have been successfully developed into drugs (L. A. Wessjohann, E. Ruijter, D. Garcia-Rivera, W. Brandt, Mol. Divers. 2005, 9, 171-186; D. J. Newman, G. M. Gragg, K. M. Snader, J. Nat. Prod. 2003, 66, 1022-1037). The chemical diversity of macrocyclic natural products is immense and provides a tremendous source of inspiration for drug design. Macrocyclic natural and synthetic products generally exhibit semi-rigid backbone conformations placing appended substituents into well-defined spatial orientation. Certain ring sizes are preferred (L. A. Wessjohann, E. Ruijter, D. Garcia-Rivera, W. Brandt, Mol. Divers. 2005, 9, 171-186), e.g. 16-membered rings are frequently found in oxygen-containing macrocycles, such as polyketides (M. Q. Zhang, B. Wilkinson, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 2007, 18, 478-488). It is hypothesized that semi-rigid scaffolds possess some of the favorable binding properties of rigid molecules (entropy), yet still retaining enough flexibility to adapt suitable conformations in the binding event (induced fit).

[0002] Macrocyclic natural and synthetic products are generally classified according to the chemical nature of the backbone, e.g. cyclic peptides (Y. Flamady, T. Shioiri, Chem. Rev. 2005, 105, 4441-4482; N.-H. Tan, J. Zhou, Chem. Rev. 2006, 106, 840-895); cyclic depsipeptides (F. Sarabia, S. Chammaa, A. S. Ruiz, L. M. Ortiz, F. J. Flerrera, Curr. Med. Chem. 2004, 11, 1309-1332); macrocyclic lactones (macrolactones) and macrolides; macrocyclic lactams (macrolactams), macrocyclic amines, macrocyclic ethers, macrocyclic ureas and urethanes, and others. The conformational, physico-chemical, pharmacological and pharmacodynamic properties of macrocyclic natural and synthetic compounds depend largely on the ring size, the chemical nature of the backbone, and of appended groups (L. A. Wessjohann, E. Ruijter, D. Garcia-Rivera, W. Brandt, Mol. Divers. 2005, 9, 171-186). By modifying these three parameters nature has created a virtually unlimited repertoire of molecular diversity. Despite their undisputed interesting biological properties, many natural products show limitations for drug development, such as low metabolic stability, i.e. short half lives, lack of or insufficient oral bioavailability as well as low tissue penetration and membrane permeability which renders them not amenable for intracellular targets. In addition, their high structural complexity imposes severe limitations to synthetic accessibility, often leaving fermentation or recombinant methods as sole options; thus making complex quality control and development processes necessary and leading to high production costs.

[0003] The present invention describes novel, fully synthetic, macrocyclic natural product-like molecules of type I (Scheme 1), accessible through a modular approach by connecting suitably protected building blocks A, B and C to a linear precursor followed by subsequent intramolecular cyclization.

[0004] Building blocks A serve as conformation-inducing templates ("Template") and are based on appropriately substituted and protected divalent biaryl-derivatives. Biaryl as used in this context shall comprise all possible pairwise combinations of aromatic carbocyclic and/or aromatic heterocyclic ring systems connected by a CSp2-Csp2 single bond, i.e. aryl-aryl, heteroaryl-heteroaryl, aryl-heteroaryl and heteroaryl-aryl.

Scheme 1: Macrocycles of Type I

[0005] Building blocks B are corresponding to appropriately substituted and protected primary, secondary or tertiary aminoalcohols and are functioning as conformational modulators ("Modulator") by influencing the conformation of the macrocycle, e.g. through cis/frans-isomerization of amides.

[0006] Within the macrocycles backbone of I the building blocks A and B are connected via the "Bridge" C composed of one to three appropriately and independently substituted subunits c1, c2 and c3, which in turn are derived from suitably substituted and protected precursors, like, but not limited to, appropriately substituted and protected amino acids or amine derivatives.

Scheme 2: Building Blocks of Macrocycle I “Template” A: “Modulator" B:

“Bridge” C comprised of up to three subunits c1-c3 (n=0-1):

[0007] The connectivity -X- between Template A and Modulator B is defined by an ether (X=0) or thioether (X=S) bond; while that between A and Bridge C is defined by the structural element -Y-Z- as detailed below. As sulfur atoms of such a thioether linkage can easily and selectively be oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides (S=0) or sulfones (S(=0)2), these higher oxidation states are also part of the invention.

Scheme 3: Connectivities of Macrocycle I (continued on the following page)

[0008] The generic connection -Y-Z- between A and C corresponds in most exemplified cases to a secondary or tertiary amide bond (-C(=0)-NR7-). Alternative connectivities -Y-Z- are thioethers (-S-CHR8-) and its oxidation products, i.e. sulfoxides (-S(=0)-CHR8-) or sulfones (-S(=0)2-CHR8-), as well as olefinic moieties (-(CHR9)t-CR11=CR10-) and their reduced aliphatic analogs (-(CHR9)t-CHR11-CHR10-). Furthermore, in case of Templates A carrying a thiophenolic Y-group (Y=S) an additional two carbon spacer can be easily introcuded by reacting with β-halo carboxyl or β-halo carbonyl compounds prior to processing with the C building blocks; thus providing access to -Y-Z- groups of type -S-CHR8-C(=0)-NR7-, -S-CHR8-CHR12-NR7-, -S-CHR8-CHR12-NR7- and their corresponding S-oxidized congeners.

[0009] The functional moiety U connects Bridge C with the nitrogen atom of Modulator B. In most cases this is realized by an amide bond, in which case the moiety U corresponds to a carbonyl group (-C(=0)-). Alternatively, U can be defined as a carbamoyl moiety (-NR7-C(=0)-) leading to a urea (including the A/-atom of B) as functional connection between B and C. Similarly, a carboxyl group (-0-0(=0)-) as U describes a carbamate linkage between B and C. In addition, U can represent an oxalyl group (-0(=0)-0(=0)-) or the corresponding acetal (-C(-0R13)2-C(=0)-).

[0010] As mentioned before, the Bridge C itself comprises one to three (1-3) appropriately and independently substituted subunits c1, c2 and c3, which in turn are independently connected to each other by the generic groups V or W which can correspond to an amide bond (-C(=0)NR7-) and the corresponding inverse amide (-NR7C(=0)-), the methylene-heteroatom linkages -CHR8-Q- and -Q-CHR8-, an alkene[1,2]diyl moiety (-CHR10=CHR11-) or its reduced form as alkane[1,2]diyl (-CHR10-CHR11-), an oxalyl group (-C(=0)-C(=0)-) or a disulfide bridge (-S-S-).

[0011] The spatial orientation of the substituents in macrocycles I is modulated by the ring size and the stereochemical connectivity within building blocks A, B and C. Therefore the macrocyclic backbone as well as the substituents contribute to the biological activity of compounds of type I.

[0012] Compounds of this invention are characterized by macrocyclic backbones containing an aromatic ether/thioether linkage and one or more tertiary amide bonds. In other cases secondary amide bonds, aliphatic ether linkages, ethylidene or ethylene moieties are exemplified as part of the backbone.

[0013] Ether linkages in macrocyclic molecules favorably influence physico-chemical and pharmacological properties, such as solubility in aqueous solutions, metabolic stability against proteolytic degradation, cell permeability and oral absorption (K. X. Chen et al., J. Med. Chem. 2006, 49, 995-1005). In addition, tertiary amide bonds containing macrocycles are well-known for increased proteolytic stability, cell permeability and oral bioavailability compared to the parent molecules with secondary amide bonds (E. Biron, J. Chatterjee, O. Ovadia, D. Langenegger, J. Brueggen, D. Hoyer, H. A. Schmid, R. Jelinek, C. Gilon, A. Hoffmann, H. Kessler, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 1-6; J. Chatterjee, O. Ovadia, G. Zahn, L. Marinelli, A. Hoffmann, C. Gilon, H. Kessler, J. Med. Chem. 2007, 50, 5878-5881). For instance, the cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporin A (INN: Ciclosporin), which is used as immunosuppressant in organ transplants, contains seven A/-methylated amino acids and possesses good oral bioavailability when formulated appropriately (R R. Beauchesne, N. S. C. Chung, K. M. Wasan, Drug Develop. Ind. Pharm. 2007, 33, 211-220).

[0014] A well documented process in protein folding events is the peptidyl cisltrans isomerization of proline or pipecolic acid containing polypeptides and proteins. In vivo this process is mediated by peptidyl prolyl cisltrans isomerases such as the cyclophilins, the FK506-binding proteins and the parvulins (A. Bell, P. Monaghan, A. P Page, Int. J. Parasitol. 2006, 36, 261-276). Besides their role in protein folding and in the immune system, peptidyl prolyl cisltrans isomerases have been implicated in cell cycle control (P E. Shaw, EMBO Reports 2002, 3, 521-526) and therefore constitute interesting pharmaceutical targets. In the context of this invention it is worth mentioning that both FK506 and cyclosporin A are macrocyclic natural products interacting with the FK506-binding protein and cyclophilins, respectively.

[0015] An interesting structural motif found in several natural products consist of a macrocylic ring sytem with a biaryl moiety as backbone element. Such biaryls, which are composed of two aromatic or heteroaromatic rings connected via a single bond, are the outstanding characteristic of a number of antibacterial macrocyclic peptide classes, like the biphenomycins, arylomycins and aciculitins; not to mention the glycopeptide antibiotics with the vancomycins as most prominent representatives (L. Feliu, M. Planas, Int. J. Pept. Res. Ther. 2005, 11,53-97).

[0016] For many extra- and intracellular biological targets the quest for small molecule hits has been disappointing; this is especially true if protein-protein interactions are involved (J. A. Robinson, S. DeMarco, F. Gombert, K. Moehle, D. Obrecht, Drug Disc. Today 2008, 13, 944-951). These so-called "difficult targets" include e.g. receptor tyrosine kinases, growth factor receptors, transcription modulators, and chaperones. Interestingly, several natural and synthetic macrocyclic compounds have been described as promising starting points for drug discovery programs around such difficult targets (D. Obrecht, J. A. Robinson, F. Bernardini, C. Bisang, S. J. DeMarco, K. Moehle, F. O. Gombert, Curr. Med. Chem. 2009, 16, 42-65).

[0017] The novel macrocycles of type I described in the embodiments of this invention are designed to combine unique features of natural macrocyclic compounds with beneficial physico-chemical and pharmacological properties of small molecules, e.g.: • Natural product-like structural complexity • Good aequous solubility • High metabolic stability • Improved oral bioavailability • Enhanced membrane permeability • Extra- and intracellular targets amenable • Improved tissue penetration • Small molecule-like pharmacokinetics • Modular chemical synthesis • Synthesis process well suited for parallelization • Reasonable production costs • Small molecule-like QC and development processes [0018] The Main Embodiment of the current invention of novel and fully synthetic macrocyclic compounds I according Scheme 1 (detailed in Scheme 2 and Scheme 3) is defined by groups of selected building blocks A, B and C as shown in Table 1 to Table 3 and by the appending substituents R1-R57 as detailed below.

[0019] As shortly indicated before, Template A exerts an important conformational constraint on products of type I. These structural effects of A depend on (i) the dihedral angle between the two Csp2-Csp2 connected aromatic rings Αβ and Ac that are defining the Template A entity; (ii) the relative orienFtation of the attachment vectors of -X- and -Y- and (Hi) the spatial distance between the groups -X- and -Y-.

[0020] One possible general preparative access to the corresponding building blocks of type A consists of an Csp2-

Csp2-coupling between appropriately functionalized arene and/or heteroarenes (R. M. Kellogg et al., Org. Process Res. Dev. 2010, 14, 30-47; A. de Meijere, F. Diederich (eds), Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions, 2nd ed., Wiley-VCFI 2004; especially for macrocyclic biaryls of. O. Wang, J. Zhu, Chimia 2011, 65, 168-174, and literature cited therein). Therefore the template A can be described by its two aryl/ heteroaryl constiuents Αβ and Ac, wherein Αβ is defined as that structural half of A that is directly connected with building block B and Ac as that half that is directly bound to building block C. In case of a biphenyl derivative as Template A such disconnection can be illustrated e.g. as:

Scheme 4: Dissection of Template A into its constituents Ab and Ac

[0021] In general, Template A of this invention is a divalent radical that is defined by the combinatorial connection of its two constituent aryl/heterorayl moieties Ag and Ας selected from Table 1 and Table 2.

Table 1: Constituents Αβ1 -Αβ65 of Template A (continued on the following pages)

Table 2: Constituents AC1 -Ac66 of Template A (continued on the following pages)

[0022] The Modulator B is a divalent radical selected from the groups of Table 3. B1-B10 are optionally substituted primary or secondary amines carrying a moiety of type -CHR5-LG, wherein LG is a suitable leaving group that can be replaced by the nucleophilic groups on Template A forming an ether (-0-) or a thioether (-S-) linkage (as well as its oxidized variations -S(=0)- and -S(=0)2-) between building blocks of type A and B. Examples of appropriate LGs include -OH, which is in situ transformed into the active LG during Mitsunobu reactions, or halogens, like -Br or-l, which are amenable to Sn reactions.

[0023] For most examples of this invention, the amine nitrogen of Modulator B forms a secondary or tertiary amide bond with the carboxyl group of the Bridge C. By virtue of inducing peptidyl cis-trans isomerizations or stabilizing cis amide bonds, building blocks of type B can function as conformational modulators in macrocycles of type I.

Table 3: Radicals B1-B10 (continued on the following page)

[0024] The Bridge C is a divalent radical selected from the groups of Table 4. This divalent moiety C may consist of one to three (1-3) subunits d to c3, i.e. (i) -Z-c1-U-, (ii) -Z-c1-V-c2-U- and (iii) -X-c1-V-c2-W-c3-U-. As a consequence Bridge C directly influences the ring size of the macrocycle and can therefore be regarded as spacer or linker. This Bridge C is joined to Template A via its terminal group Z (i.e. A/-terminus in case of an amino acid) and to Modulator B via its terminal group U (i.e. C-terminus in case of an amino acid) to form the macrocyclic ring of type I. Thus C contributes to the backbone of macrocycle I with its carbon chains as well as with its functional groups Z, W, V and U (cf. Scheme 2 and 3).

Table 4: Generic Representations of Bridge C

[0025] According to the preceding definitions, macrocycles I contain at least one amide bond or isosteric surrogate thereof. As emphasized in the introduction, tertiary amides generally show various ratios of cis and trans conformations in solution. In striking contrast secondary amides strongly prefer trans conformations. Such occurrence of cis and/or trans conformations in macrocyclic natural products containing tertiary amide groups is well documented. In some cases a rapid equilibration by peptidyl cis-trans isomerization is observed, whereas in other cases discrete cis and trans tertiary amide bonds are detected as two stable conformers in solution at room temperature. Consequently all possible stereoisomers, explicitly including atropisomers, conformers or rotamers of macrocycles of type I are part of this invention.

[0065] I n an Specific Representation of the Particularly Preferred Embodiment the Bridge C is represented by

Caa-· L J 1-3 wherein

Caa is an amino acid selected from the readily accessible amino acids listed in Table 11. Even though only one stereoisomer, usually the L-enantiomer, is cited within Table 11, it is understood that the complementary enantiomer is also part to the embodiment. Also not listed explicitly, but part of the embodiment are the simple A/-methyl derivatives of the listed amino acids.

Table 11: Structures representing subunits Caa °f Bridge C (continued on the following pages)

Synthesis of the Building Blocks [0067] Readily available examples of amino acids representing subunits of the Bridge C are detailed to the level of fully-defined structures in Table 11. Additional analogs can be accessed smoothly, and a plethora of literature precedents are published. Therefore this section focuses on synthetic approaches towards building blocks of the Template A and the Modulator B.

[0068] Functional groups not involved in ring connections of the macrocyclic backbone can be diversified by standard methods of organic synthesis, preferably by parallel/combinatorial chemistry introducing so-called high variation substituents. These derivatization methods are well-known to those skilled in the art and do not require further exemplification (selected references: A. R. Katritzky et al. (eds), Comprehensive Functional Group Transformations, Pergamon, 1995; S. Patai, Z. Rappoport (eds), Chemistry of Functional Groups, Wiley, 1999; J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4 ed., Wiley, 1992; D. Obrecht, J.M. Villalgordo (eds), Solid-Supported Combinatorial and Parallel Synthesis of Small-Molecular-Weight Compound Libraries, Pergamon, 1998; W. Bannwarth et al. (eds), Combinatorial Chemistry: From Theory to Application, 2 ed., Wiley-VCFI 2006). a) Synthesis of Template A Building Blocks [0069] Over the last decades the coupling to suitably functionalized aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds has reached a highly mature status providing an easy and reliable route to biaryl derivatives of nearly any substitution pattern (cf. leading reviews covering several types of coupling reactions and the references cited therein: R. M. Kellogg et al., Org. Process Res. Dev. 2010, 14, 30-47; A. de Meijere, F. Diederich (eds), Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions, 2nd ed., Wiley-VCFI 2004; with focus on heteroaromatic substrates: G. Zeni, R. C. Larock, Chem. Rev. 2006, 106, 4644-4680; especially for macrocyclic biaryls: Q. Wang, J. Zhu, Chimia 2011,65, 168-174). Most prominent among these coupling reactions is definitely the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling of aryl boronic acid derivatives with aryl halides under palladium catalysis (N. Miyaura, A. Suzuki, Chem. Rev. 1995, 95, 2457-2483; S. Kotha et al., Tetrahedron 2002, 58, 9633-9695; S. L. Buchwald et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 4685-4696). Special catalysts, especially the Nolan's catalysts make the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction also amenable to highly sterically hindered substrates (S. P. Nolan et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 16194-16195; S. P. Nolan et al., Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 1829-1832). More recent developments broadened the scope of the Suzuki coupling from aryl halides to other substrates like aryl mesylates (F.Y Kwong et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 8059-8063) or aryl carbamates, carbonates and sulfamates (N. K. Garg et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 17748-17749).

[0070] The biaryl compounds obtained by such coupling protocols might require further functional group transformations as described below.

General Functional Group Interconversions [0071] The majority of the Templates A are carrying an aromatic or heteroaromatic hydroxy (-OH) or sulfanyl (thiol) group (-SH) in the Αβ substructure and a carboxylic acid group (-COOFI) or sulfanyl moiety (-SH) or its respective oxidation products in the Ac substructure.

[0072] As more phenolic precursors are commercially available than the corresponding thiophenols, a transformation of a phenol into a thiophenol might be required. Alternatively thiophenols might be derived from the corresponding aryl halides or diazonium salts. Selected functional group transformations for introducing a sulfanyl group (-SH), i.e. Ar/Fletar-X —> Ar/Fletar-SFI (X= OH, F, Cl, Br, I, N2+), are the compiled below (T-l to T-VII): T-l: A sequence of broad applicability is the transformation of a phenol into a thiocarbamate with N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride, followed by Newman-Kwart rearrangement and subsequent hydrolysis (A. Gallardo-Godoy et al., J. Med. Chem. 2005, 48, 2407-2419; P. Beaulieu et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2006, 16, 4987-4993; H. Sugiyama et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 2007, 55, 613-624; S. Lin et al., Org. Prep. Proced. Int. 2000; 547-556). T-ll: The direct transformation of an -OH adjacent to a pyridinic nitrogen (i.e. equivalent to the pyridone tautomer) can be accomplished by heating with P2S5 (K. Hirai et al., Heterocycles 1994, 38, 277-280). T-lll: As an alternative to phenols, halogen-substituted (esp. with F or Cl) aromatic ring systems might serve as precursors. In case the halogen is in a position activated by an electron withdrawing group in ortho- or para-position the -SH moiety or a protected surrogate can be introduced under mild conditions by nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions (S^Ar) (G.J. Atwell et al., J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37, 371-380). Especially in the field of heterocyclic compounds, where the electron withdrawing effect is exerted by pyridine-like nitrogen atoms, this type of substitution is often utilized (S. McCombie et al., Heterocycles, 1993, 35, 93-97). T-IV: Similarly, in Sandmeyer-type reactions a diazonium group (-N2+) can be replaced (C. Mukherjee, E. Biehl, Heterocycles 2004, 63, 2309-2318). T-V: In positions not activated for an S^Ar the substitution of halogen atoms (esp. Br or I) can be accomplished via the corresponding organolithium or Grignard reagents (J.L. Kice, A. G. Kutateladze, J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 917-923; PC. Kearney et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 9907-9919). Alternatively, transition metal-catalyzed transformations are feasible for this type of reaction, e.g. Cu-catalyzed substitution with benzothioic S-acid (N. Sawada et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 2006, 47, 6595-6597), or Pd-catalyzed substitution with KS-Si(/-Pr)3 followed by desilylation of the introduced -SSi(/-Pr)3 group (A. M. Rane et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1994, 35, 3225-3226).

[0073] The thus introduced -SH moieties constitute a thia-bridge -S- in the later macrocyclic products and can be selectively transformed into higher oxidation states. Therefore the building blocks with sulfanyl moieties are also regarded as building blocks for the introduction of sulfinyl (-S(=0)-; i.e. sulfoxide) and sulfonyl (-S(=0)2-; i.e. sulfone) moieties. Suitable oxidation methods are: T-VI: The selective oxidation of a thioether (-S-) to a sulfoxide (-S(=0)-) can be highly selectively and mildly achieved with hexamethylenetetramine-bromine HMTAB (K. Choudhary et al.; J. Phys. Org. Chem. 2000, 13, 283-292); under these conditions primary hydroxyl groups for example are not affected. In a number of related reactions chlorotrimethylsilane showed high selectivity, too (Y.-J. Chen et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 2000, 41, 5233-5236). T-VII: Stronger oxidants directly transfer the sulfanyl (-S-) into the sulfonyl group (-S(=0)2-). Among the many reagents mentioned in literature the system periodic acid/ chromium(VI)oxide for example can be applied in the presence of C=C-double bonds (US2007/293548 A1).

[0074] Hydroxyl groups attached to aromatic rings (Ar-OH or Heteroaryl-OH) in turn, if not already part of a synthesized or commercially available biaryl, can be introduced by various methods, e.g. H-l to H-IV: FFL Analogously to T-lll) the hydroxy group or its surrogate can be introduced by an SuAr reaction of halogen atoms, esp. Cl or F, ortho or para to an electron withdrawing substituent (W. Cantrell, Tetrahedron Lett. 2006, 47, 4249-4251) or to a pyridinic nitrogen atom (S.D. Taylor etal., J. Org. Chem. 2006, 71, 9420-9430). H-ll: Sandmeyer-type hydroxylations of aromatic amines via intermediate diazonium salts (P. Madsen et al., J. Med. Chem. 2002, 45, 5755-5775). H-lll: The substitution of halogen atoms (esp. Br and I), which are not activated for an SuAr, can be achieved by transition metal-catalyzed C-O-couplings. Predominant are Pd-catalysts (K.W. Anderson et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 10694-10695; B.J. Gallon et al., Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2007, 46, 7251-7254), but also others find application, like Cu-catalysts (J.E. Ellis, S.R. Lenger, Synth. Commun. 1998, 28, 1517-1524). H-IV: Of broad scope is also a two-step process which first transforms halogen atoms (Cl, Br and I) into a boronate and then oxidatively cleaves the carbon-boron bond to the phenol (J.R. Vyvyan et al., J. Org. Chem. 2004, 69, 2461-2468).

[0075] The carboxylic acid group of the biaryl A building blocks, if not already present in commercially available coupling precursors, can be introduced by standard procedures like C-l to C-IV: C-l: The oxidation of functional groups like hydroxymethyl (-CH2-OH) or aldehyde (-C(=0)H) can be achieved under mild conditions (G.V.M. Sharma et al., Synth. Commun. 2000, 30, 397-406; C. Wiles et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 2006, 47, 5261-5264). Also methyl groups on benzene rings can be oxidized; however, as harsh reaction conditions are usually required, its applicability is limited. In contrast, the relatively acidic methyl groups ortho or para to a pyridine nitrogen can be oxidized under milder conditions; making this the method of choice for many pyridine analogs (T. R. Kelly, F. Lang, J. Org. Chem. 1996, 61,4623-4633). C-l I: Halogen atoms can easily be replaced by a carboxyl group or surrogate thereof, e.g. by halogen metal exchange and subsequent carboxylation of the intermediate Grignard or organolithium species (C.G. Screttas, B.R. Steele, J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 1013-1017), or by utilizing Mander's reagent (methyl cyanoformate)(A. Lepretre et al., Tetrahedron 2000, 56, 265-274). C-lll: In the case that acidified ring positions are to be carboxylated, a viable method is deprotonation with a strong base (usually fert-butyl lithium) followed by carboxylation of the intermediate organolithium species in analogy to C-II). C-IV: Hydrolysis of ester, amide or nitrile groups. The CN group in turn can easily be introduced by treating organic halides with CuCN (Rosenmund-von Braun reaction: C. F. Koelsch, A. G. Whitney, J. Org. Chem., 1941,6, 795-803).

[0076] Applied to commercially available starting materials or biarlys obtained by coupling route, these general transformations offer a tool box for accessing a huge variety of Templates A. Additional literature examples are cited below within the sections on specific derivatives. b) Synthesis of Modulator B Building Blocks [0077] The Modulator B moieties of macrocycle I are derived from appropriately substituted aminoalcohols, wherein the amino and alcohol group, which contribute to the ring connectivity, are separated by 2-4 C-atoms.

[0078] If not already present in a commercial building block, the substituent R6 can be introduced by standard nucleophilic addition of organometallic reagents to carbonyl or carboxyl derivatives. Alkyl (as R6) substituted analogs of B1 and derivatives of B2-B10 with no additional C-substituent on their ring system are commercially available, as are many derivatives with an amino (-NH2) or alcohol (-OH) substituent as R6. In the such cases the diversification of the substitution pattern can be easily achieved by standard transformations of the free amine or hydroxy functionalities.

[0079] Possible pathways to more complex pyrrolidine derivatives of type B4-B6 or piperidine derivatives of type B7-B9 rely on the same strategy: Intramolecular cyclization reactions are the predominant route applicable to diversely substituted substrates. Amines carrying a residue with a leaving group in the ω-position lead directly to the desired saturated ring systems by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution (G. Ceulemans et al., Tetrahedron 1997, 53, 14957-14974; S. H. Kang, D. H. Ryu, Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 607-610; J. L. Ruano et al., Synthesis 2006, 687-691). Also A/-haloamines can be directly transformed into the desired compounds by a Hofmann-Loffler-Freytag reaction (Μ. E. Wolff, Chem. Rev. 1963, 63, 55-64). Alternatively, amines carrying two substituents, each with an alkene or alkyne bond, can be subjected to a ring closing metathesis (RCM) reaction (Y Coquerel, J. Rodriguez, Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2008, 1125-1132) and subsequent reduction of the partially unsaturated ring to the saturated heterocycle.

[0080] Another possible access, reduction of aromatic five- or six-membered heterocycles to their saturated analogs, is described in the literature. Due to the large number of commercially available pyridines this approach is especially useful for the synthesis of the piperidine system (J. Bolos et al., J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1994, 31, 1493-1496; A. Solladie-Cavallo et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 2003, 44, 8501-8504; R. Naef et al., J. Agric. Food Chem. 2005, 53, 9161-9164).

General processes for the synthesis of macrocyclic compounds I

[0081] General procedures for the synthesis of libraries of macrocyclic compounds of general structure I are described below. It will be immediately apparent to those skilled in the art how these procedures have to be modified for the synthesis of individual macrocyclic compounds of type I.

[0082] The macrocyclic compounds of this invention are obtained by cyclization of suitable linear precursors which are derived from optionally substituted bifunctional hydroxy- or mercapto biaryls/heteroaryls Χ-Αβ-Ας-Υ (Template Αβ-Ας), substituted amino alcohols B (Modulator), and one to three building blocks forming Bridge C.

[0083] Flydroxy- or mercapto biaryls/heteroaryls Χ-Αβ-Ας-Υ consist of two optionally substituted building blocks Χ-Αβ and Aq-Y. Building blocks Χ-Αβ comprise hydroxyaryl, hydroxyheteroaryl-, mercaptoaryl- and mercaptoheteroaryl compounds. Building blocks Ac-Y comprise carboxyaryl-, carboxyheteroaryl-, mercaptoaryl-, mercaptoheteroaryl, alkenylaryl, and alkenylheteroaryl compounds. Χ-Αβ and Aq-Y are six-membered aromatic or five- or six-membered heteroaromatic rings. Templates Χ-Αβ-Ας-Υ can be obtained by combination of two six-membered rings, two five-membered rings or a five- and a six-membered ring. The building blocks Χ-Αβ and Ας-Y are connected by a carbon-carbon bond to form the biaryls Χ-Αβ-Ας-Υ.

[0084] Variable substituents are introduced by pre- or postcyclative derivatization of one or more orthogonally protected functional group (e.g. amino groups, carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups) attached to B, C or A. Variable R-groups may also be introduced as side chain motifs of the subunits of Bridge C.

[0085] The macrocyclic products of this invention can be prepared either in solution or on solid support.

[0086] The essential ring closure reaction is possible between any of the building blocks; and macrocycles I are obtained by e.g. • Macrolactamization between C and B; • Macrolactamization between Αβ-Ας and C; • Macrolactamization between any two subunits of Bridge C; • Arylether or arylthioether formation between Αβ-Ας and B; • Arylthioether formation between Ab-Aq and C; • Biaryl synthesis by coupling reaction (e.g. Suzuki coupling) between AB and Ac; • Ring closing metathesis (RCM) reaction between any two subunits of C or upon formation of such a subunit; • Ring closing metathesis reaction between Αβ-Ας and C. SW-1: Synthesis workflow for the preparation of side-chain protected macrocycles I by macrolactamization in solution [0087] Macrocycles of structure I with orthogonally protected exocyclic functional groups (attachment points for derivatizations) are prepared in solution by the process outlined below. Throughout all steps the orthogonal protection of the side chains stays intact and is not affected by protecting group manipulations of the main chain. a1) Condensation of an appropriately protected hydroxy- or mercapto-biaryl/heteroaryl carboxylic acid PG1-X-AB-Ac-CO2H and a suitable C-terminally and side-chain protected C-subunit building block H-NR7-c1- CO-OPG2 to form PG1-X-Ab-Ac- CO N R7-c 1 -CO-O PG2; b1) If required, deprotection of the aryl/heteroaryl hydroxy or mercapto group; c1) Aryl/heteroaryl ether or thioether formation with a suitably A/-protected amino alcohol PG3-B-OH leading to the fully protected linear precursor PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CONR7-c1-CO-OPG2; d1) Cleavage of the "main chain" protective groups affording the free amino acid H-B- X-AB-Ac-CONR7-c1-CO-OH, which is subjected to macrocyclization e1) Intramolecular amide coupling to cyclo(B-X-AB-Ac-CONR7-c1-CO-) as macrocyclic product.

[0088] In addition to the steps described above, chain elongation by one or two additional C-subunits (c2, c3) and subsequent macrolactamization starts with coupling of a second suitably C-protected amino acid to the free carboxylic acid functionality of the product obtained by N-reprotection of the product of step d1. Cleavage of the main chain protective groups and either macrolactamization or repetition of the chain elongation steps and macrolactamization provides either cyc/o(B-X-AB-Ac-CONR7-c1-CONR7-c2-CO-) or cyc/o(B-X-AB-Ac-CONR7-c1-CONR7-c2-CONR7-c3-CO-). The free carboxylic acid functionality of the A/-reprotected product derived from any of the three linear macrolactamization precursors (product of step d1, or corresponding product after coupling of one or two additional C-subunits) can be further elaborated by chain extensions/ homologizations (e.g. Arndt-Eistert reaction) or functional group interconversions like Curtius rearrangement ultimately affording homologous macrocycles or those where the connection between Modulator B and Bridge C corresponds to a urea moiety. SW-2: Synthesis workflow for the preparation of side-chain protected macrocycles I by macrolactamization in solution [0089] As an alternative to SW-1 the intermediate H-X-AB-Ac-Y-Z-c1-CO-OPG2 (product of step b1) can be prepared by a2) S-alkylation of a suitable mercapto-substituted haloaryl/heteroaryl compound Hal-Ac-SH (Hal represents a halogen atom) with a C-terminally and side-chain protected C-subunit building block LG-CHR8-c1-CO-OPG2(LG represents a leaving group like halide, alkyl-, arylsulfonate or activated OH like e.g. under Mitsunobu conditions); b2) Suzuki coupling reaction between the product of step a2) and a suitable hydroxyl-substituted boronic acid or boronic ester HX-Ab-B(OR)2 leading to HX-AB-Ac-S-CHR8-c1-CO-OPG2.

[0090] In analogy, amide coupling of a suitable C-terminally and side-chain protected C-subunit building block H-NR7-d-CO-OPG2 to a haloaryl/heteroaryl carboxylic acid Hal-Ac-CO-OH and subsequent Suzuki biaryl coupling reaction with a suitable hydroxyl-substituted boronic acid or boronic ester would provide H-X-AB-Ac-CONR7-c1-CO-OPG2.

[0091] Possible subsequent steps are as described in SW-1, providing cyc/o(B-X-AB-AQ-Y-Z-c1-CO-) with Y-Z = CO NR7, S-CHR8.

[0092] Oxidation of cyc/o(B-X-AB-Ac-S-CHR8-c1-CO-) leads to the corresponding sulfoxides cyclo(B-X-Ab-Aq-SO-CHR8-c1-CO-) or sulfone cyc/o(B-X-AB-Ac-S02-CHR8-c1-CO-). SW-3: Synthesis workflow for the preparation of side-chain protected macrocycles I by macrolactamization in solution [0093] As an alternative to SW-1 the protected cyclization precursor PG3-B-X-Ab-Aq-CONR7-c1-CO-OPG2 can also be synthesized by an inverted order of reaction steps: a3) Arylether or arylthioether formation between a hydroxyl or mercaptoaryl/heteroaryl ester H-X-AB-Ac-CO-OPG4 and a suitably protected amino alcohol PG3-B-OH to afford PG3-B-X-Ab-Aq-CO-OPG4.

Further more, PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CO-OPG4 can also be obtained by arylether or arylthio ether formation between a suitably protected aminoalcohol PG3-B-OH and an optionally substituted hydroxyl- or mercaptoaryl halide or heteroaryl halide HX-AB-Hal leading to PG3-B-X-AB-Hal and subsequent coupling of an optionally substituted alkoxycarbonyl aryl or heteroaryl boronic acid or boronic ester (RO^B-Ac-CO-OPG4. b3) Deprotection of the carboxylic acid group to PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CO-OH; c3) Condensation with a C-terminally and side-chain protected building block H-NR7-c1-CO-OPG2 to PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CONR7-c1-CO-OPG2.

[0094] Possible subsequent steps are as described in SW-1.

[0095] In analogy to step c3), PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-C02H can be coupled to a previously formed di- or tripeptide leading to protected cyclization precursors such as PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CONR7-c1-CONR7-c2-CO-OPG2 or PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CONR7- c1-CONR7-c2-CONR7-c3-CO-OPG2. If applying this approach for the synthesis of macrocycles I, the synthesis is best performed by preparation of the linear A/-terminal deprotected cyclization precursor on solid support, followed by release from resin and cyclization as well as cleavage of side chain protective groups in solution, as detailed in SW4. SW-4: Synthesis workflow for the preparation of side-chain protected macrocycles I by combined solid phase and solution phase chemistry [0096] Macrocyclic compounds of general formula I with highly variable side chain motifs in Bridge C can advantageously be prepared in parallel array synthesis applying a combination of solid phase and solution phase synthesis methodologies.

[0097] The solid support (polymer, resin) is preferably a trityl resin e.g. chlorotrityl chloride resin (cross-linked with 1-5% divinylbenzene), which is useful as polymer-bound protective group for carboxylic acids (D. Obrecht, J.-M. Villalgordo, Solid-Supported Combinatorial and Parallel Synthesis of Small-Molecular-Weight Compound Libraries, Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry Series, Vol. 17, Pergamon 1998; K. Barlos et al., Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 1991, 37, 513-520; K. Barlos et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1991,30, 590-593). a4) The suitably side-chain protected C-subunit PG5NR7-c2-CO-OH is attached to the solid support; b4) The A/-terminal protective group is cleaved; c4) The suitably side-chain protected C-subunit PG5NR7-c1-CO-OH is coupled; subsequent A/-terminal deprotection leads to HNR7-c1-CO-NR7-c2-CO-0-chlorotrityl resin; d4) Coupling of a suitably side chain protected building block PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CO-OH (cf. SW-3, product of step b3) and cleavage of the A/-terminal protective group; e4) Release of the linear main-chain deprotected macrolactamization precursor H-B- X-AB-Ac-CO N R7-c 1 - CO N R7-c2-CO-OH from the resin; f4) Macrolactamization to cyc/o(B-X-AB-Ac-CONR7-c1-CONR7-c2-CO-). g4) Optional: Cleavage of protective groups of side-chain functions.

[0098] Immobilization of an amino acid PG5NR7-c3-CO-OH and two additional amino acid coupling/deprotection cycles would lead to HNR7-c1-CO-NR7-c2-CO-NR7-c3-CO-0-chlorotrityl resin. Possible subsequent steps are as described above, providing cyc/o(B-X-AB-Ac-CONR7-c1-CONR7-c2-CO-NR7-c3-CO-).

[0099] The ring closure of linear precusors like H-B-X-Ab-Ac-CONR7-c1-CONR7-c2-CO-OH may be achieved using soluble coupling reagents as described below or by engaging polymer-supported coupling reagents such as N-cyclohexyl-carbodiimide-/V-methylpolystyrene or A/-alkyl-2-chloro pyridinium triflate resin (S. Crosignani et al, Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 4579-4582).

[0100] Further viable alternatives for the synthesis of macrocycles I by combined application of solid phase and solution phase conditions could involve macrolactamization in other positions, e.g. between two subunits in Bridge C. Alternative cyclization precursors like H-NR7-c2-CO-B-X-Ab-Ac-CONR7-c1-CO-OH can be obtained from the same building blocks (as described for SW4) by changing the sequence of coupling/deprotection steps. SW-5: Synthesis workflow for the preparation of side-chain protected macrocycles I by ring-closing metathesis in solution [0101] Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of olefinic precursors was applied for the synthesis of subunits of Bridge C, wherein e.g. c2 = c2'-c2": a5) Coupling of an optionally substituted alkenyl amine building block H-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2 with suitably protected carboxylic acid derivatives PG1-X-AB-Ac-C02H to afford PG1-X-AB-Ac-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2; b5) if required release of the aryl/heteroaryl hydroxyl or mercapto group; c5) Arylether or arylthioether formation between H-X-AB-Ac-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2 and PG3-B-OH leading to PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2 d5) Cleavage of the N-terminal protective group leading to H-B- X-Ab-Ac-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2 e5) Coupling of a suitable (optionally substituted and suitably protected) enoic acid to H2C=c2"-CO-B-X-Ab-Ac-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2; f5) Ring-closing metathesis to cyc/o(c2"-CO-B-X-AB-Ac-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2') [= cyc/o(B-X-AB-Ac-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2-CO-)] g5) Optional: Hydrogenation of the newly formed C-C double bond of the metathesis product.

[0102] In addition, it is also feasible to prepare olefinic macrocycles with modified Bridges C such as cyc/o( Β-Χ-Αβ-Ac- Y-Z-c1-V-c2-CO-NR7-c3-CO-), or cycto(B-X-AB-Ac-Y-Z-cl-CO-), and subsequently the respective hydrogenated analogs.

General procedures for synthetic steps utilized in SW-1 to SW-5 [0103] In all general procedures below Y-Z represents CONRn or SCHRn.

Amidation reactions (steps a1. c3. a5. e5t [0104] An appropriately protected (preferably as acetyloxy or acetylmercapto) and optionally substituted biaryl/heteroaryl carboxylic acid (PG3-X-Ab-Aq-C02H) or a more advanced intermediate like PG3-B-X-Ab-Aq-C02H is condensed with a suitably protected amino acid ester H-NR7-c1-CO-OPG2 or an amine H-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2 in the presence of a coupling reagent (e.g. benzotriazole derivatives like HBTU, HCTU, BOP, PyBOP; their aza analogs like HATU; or carbodiimides like EDC; others like PyClu, T3P), an auxiliary base (e.g. /-Pr2NEt, Et3N, pyridine, collidine) in solvents like CH2CI2, DMF, pyridine. Benzotriazole-based coupling reagents and carbodiimides can be used together with suitable auxiliary reagents HOBt or HOAt. Hydroxybiaryl/heteroaryl carboxylic acids H-X-Ab-Ac-C02H do not necessarily require protection of the phenolic OH-group and can directly be coupled with the H-NR7-c1-CO-OPG2 to the free phenol derivative H-X-Ab-Ac-CONR7-c1-CO-OPG2.

[0105] As an alternative, the amidation can also be accomplished with the corresponding acid derivatives like acid chlorides, anhydrides, or active esters.

Deprotection of aromatic hvdroxv or mercapto groups (steps b1. b5t [0106] Deacylation of PG1-X-AB-Ac-CONR7-c1-CO-OPG2 or PG1-X-Ab-Ac-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2 to the corresponding free hydroxyl or mercapto aryl/heteroaryl amide H-X-Ab-Ac-CONR7-c1-CO-OPG2 or H-X-Ab-Aq-CO- NR7-c1 -V-c2'=CH2 is achieved by aminolysis, which is advantageously carried out with a dialkylaminoalkyl amine in solvents like degassed THF at 0-25°C. Acyl amine side products formed in the course of the reaction are easily removed by extraction with acidic aqueous solutions.

Arvlether or arvlthioether formation between A and B (steps c1. a3. c5t [0107] Alkylation of the phenol or thiophenol like H-X-AB-Ac-Y-Z-c1-CO-OPG2, H-X-AB-Ac-CO-OPG4, or H-X-AB-AC-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2 with a suitably A/-protected amino alcohol PG3-B-OH to the ether or thioether PG3-B-X-Ab-Aq-Y- Z-d-CO-OPG2, PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CO-OPG4, or PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CO-NR7-c1-V-c2'=CH2 is accomplished with azodicarboxylic acid derivatives such as DEAD, DIAD, TMAD or ADDP in the presence of trialkyl or triaryl phosphines in solvents like benzene, toluene, CH2CI2, CHCI3 or THF at 0°C to room temperature. As a variation, the reaction is performed with CMBP in toluene at temperatures of 20-110°C.

[0108] In an alternative approach, the alcohol PG3-B-OH is converted into the corresponding sulfonate (e.g. mesylate, tosylate or triflate) or halide (e.g. chloride, bromide or iodide) and subsequently treated with the phenol/thiophenol H-X-Αβ-Ac-CO-OPG4 in the presence of an auxiliary base such as NaH or K2CO3 in solvents like DMF, DMSO, NMP, FIMPA, or THF, to yield PG3-B-X-Ab-Ac-CO-OPG4

Cleavage of the main chain protective groups (step d1t [0109] Simultaneous or stepwise cleavage of the main chain protective groups provides the linear amino acids as cyclization precursors. The preferred protecting groups are Alloc as PG3 and/or allylester as PG2, which can be cleaved simultaneously by palladium catalysts (e.g. Pd(PPfi3)4) in the presence of 1,3-dimethyl barbituric acid in solvents like CH2CI2 or EtOAc or mixtures thereof.

[0110] Also applied were Boc as PG3 and methyl, ethyl or tert-butyl ester as PG2. Boc and groups and t-Bu esters are cleaved either with TFA in CH2CI2 or with HCI-dioxane. Methyl or ethyl esters are best saponified with aq. LiOH in mixtures of MeOH and THF.

Macrolactamization (steps e1. f41 [0111] Macrolactamization occurs upon treatment of the cyclization precursor with coupling reagents like T3P or FDPP (if required in the presence of an auxiliary base such as /-P^NEt) in solvents like CH2CI2 or DMF under high dilution conditions and at temperatures ranging from 20 to 100°C.

[0112] Due to their synthetic importance, macrolactamizations are a well-investigated class of transformations. The favorable application of FDPP as cyclization mediator is described e.g. by J. Dudash et al., Synth. Commun. 1993, 23, 349-356; and R. Sarny et al., J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 2711-2728. Many other coupling reagents were successfully utilized in related head to tail cyclizations and might be applied instead; examples include benzotriazole derivatives like HBTU, HCTU, PyBOP; or their aza analogs such as HATU, as well as DPPA, and carbodiimides like EDC or DIC (P. Li, P.P Roller, Curr. Top. Med. Chem. 2002, 2, 325-341; D.L. Boger et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 10004-10011). Still another route to macrolactams relies on the intramolecular reaction of an active ester with an in situ released amino group (e.g. by carbamate deprotection or azide reduction) as demonstrated in the synthesis of peptide alkaloids and vancomycin model systems (U. Schmidt et al., J. Org. Chem. 1982, 47, 3261-3264; K.C. Nicolaou et al., Chem. Commun. 1997, 1899-1900).

Ring-closing metathesis (RCM1 (step f51 [0113] Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of olefinic precursors to macrocyclic compounds is well documented (e.g. A. Furstner et al., Chem. Eur. J. 2001,7, 4811-4820) and supplements the macrocyclization strategies described above.

[0114] The ring-closing metathesis is conveniently performed in solvents like CH2CI2 or toluene at temperatures of 20-100°C in the presence of indenylidene-ruthenium complexes such as [1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene]dichloro-[(2-isopropoxy)(5-pentafluorobenzoylamino)benzylidene]ruthenium(ll); dichloro-(3-phenyl -1H-inden-1-ylidene)bis(tricyclohexyl-phosphine)-ruthenium(ll); [1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene]-dichloro-(3-phenyl-1H-inden-1-ylidene(tricyclohexylphosphine)-ruthenium(ll); or [1,3-bis(2,4,6-tri-methylphenyl)-2-imidazoli-dinylidene]-dichloro-(3-phenyl-1H-inden-1-ylidene)(pyridyl)ruthenium(ll) (S. Monsaert et al., Eur. J. Inorg.

Chem. 2008, 432-440 and references cited therein).

[0115] In addition to ring closing transformations described above, biaryl coupling reactions such as intramolecular Suzuki coupling and Suzuki-Miyaura conditions have been applied to prepare macrocyclic compounds with biaryl motifs (M. Kaiser et al., Org. Lett. 2003, 5, 3435 - 3437; R. Lepine et al., Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 2981-2984).

[0116] The coupling of arylboronato-carboxylic acids to amines is also described (cf ref. above, M. Kaiser et al., R. Lépine et al.); therefore the synthesis of linear precursors Hal-AB-X-B-CO-c1-NR7-CO-Ac-B(OR)2 (Hal represents a halogen atom or a triflate, B(OR)2 a boronic acid or boronic ester functionality) an their cyclization in a Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction is a feasible alternative.

General procedures for synthetic steps in SW-4

Synthesis of linear cvclization precursors on solid support (steps a4 to e41 [0117] Chlorotrityl resins are frequently used in solid phase peptide synthesis. Therefore, attachment of Fmoc- or Alloc-protected amino acids to these resins as well as subsequent deprotection steps and coupling/deprotection of additional amino acids are well described (K. Barlos et al., Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 1991,37, 513-520; K. Barbs et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1991, 30, 590-593). For the examples of the present invention, chlorotrityl chloride resin (matrix: copoly(styrene-1 %DVB) is treated with an N-terminally Fmoc-protected amino acid in CH2CI2 in the presence of an auxiliary base like i-P^NEt. Fmoc deprotection (DBU, DMF) and coupling/deprotection of Fmoc- or Alloc-protected amino acids provides a linear, N-terminally deprotected cyclization precursor, still attached to the resin. Fmoc- or Alloc-protected amino acids are coupled in the presence of reagents like HATU or PyBOP in DMF in the presence of i-P^NEt. Alloc protective groups were removed by treatment of the carbamate with Pd(PPfi3)4 and phenylsilane in CH2CI2. The linear cyclization precursor is then released by treatment of the resin with HFIP in CH2CI2 (R. Bollhagen et al. J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1994, 2559-2560). It is well known, that peptides can also be cleaved from the resin using TFAin CH2CI2 or mixtures of acetic acid, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and CH2CI2 (K. Barbs et al., Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 1991, 37, 513-520). The subsequent macrolactaminzation step is described above. SW-6: Synthesis workflow for derivatizations of attachment points in solution [0118] The macrocyclic compounds obtained according to SW-1 to SW-3 and SW-5 can be further modified by transformations involving functional groups like, but not limited to, amino, carboxyl or hydroxyl groups. In addition, aromatic halides or sulfonates can be subjected to transition-metal catalyzed C-C or C-heteroatom-coupling reactions. The orthogonal protection of the attachment points allows stepwise deprotections and derivatizations which are carried out in a parallel fashion to generate substance libraries: a6) Cleavage of the first protective group; b6) Derivatization of the unmasked functional group; c6) Cleavage of the second protective group; d6) Derivatization of the liberated functional group; etc.

General procedures for synthetic steps utilized in SW-6

Protecting group cleavage (steps a6 and c61 [0119] The utilized amine protecting groups (e.g. Boc, Cbz, Teoc, Alloc, Fmoc, etc.), carboxylic acid protecting groups (e.g. fert-butyl, benzyl, allyl, methyl, etc.) or alcohol protecting groups (e.g. fert-butyl, benzyl, allyl, acetyl, benzoyl, pivaloyl) are removed under standard conditions (P.G.M. Wuts, T.W. Greene, Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons, 4th Edition, 2006; PJ. Koncienski, Protecting Groups, 3rd ed., Georg Thieme Verlag 2005).

[0120] Aryl nitro groups are reduced to anilines.

Attachment point derivatizations (steps b6 and d61 [0121] Derivatizations of the liberated functional groups are based on standard synthesis procedures (A. R. Katritzky et al.

[0122] Such prototypical transformations include, but are not limited to: 1. (i) Amino group derivatizations such as o Amidations with carbonyl chlorides, carboxylic acid anhydrides, active esters; or with carboxylic acids in the presence of coupling reagents (of. the general procedures); ° Formation of sulfonamides with sulfonyl chlorides; o Reductive alkylation with carbonyl compounds; or alkylation with alkyl halides, alkylsulfonates or Michael acceptors; ° Formation of ureas by reacting with isocyanates or their equivalents like carbamoyl chlorides or hydroxysuccinimidyl esters; ° Transformation into thioureas with isothiocyanates or their equivalents; o Carbamate formation by reacting with chloroformates or their surrogates such as hydroxysuccinimidyl carbonates; o A/-arylation to the corresponding A/-aryl or A/-heteroaryl derivatives with activated aromatic or heteroaromatic halides or sulfonates in the presence of an auxiliary base and/or transition metal catalyst like Pd or Cu catalyst (e.g. Buchwald-Hartwig coupling). 2. (ii) Carboxyl group derivatizations like ° Amidation with amines in the presence of a coupling reagent; ° Esterification with alcohols. ° Reduction to alcohols (also obtained by reduction of the corresponding esters) 3. (iii) Alcoholic hydroxyl group derivatizations such as o Alkylation to alkyl ethers with alkyl halides or alkylsulfonates, trialkyloxonium tetrafluoroborates; o Transformation into aryl or heteroaryl ethers by reaction with (a) phenols in the presence of azodicarboxylic acid derivatives and triaryl or trialkyl phosphines (Mitsunobu type reactions); or (b) suitably activated aryl or heteroaryl halides or sulfonates; o Conversion into carbamates by reaction with isocyanates; ° Conversion into primary amines (obtained e.g. by hydrogenation of azides, which in turn are prepared by the reaction of an alcohol with DPPA, PPh3, and DEAD) and derivatization of these amines as described above; o Oxidation to carbonyl compounds, which in turn can be further elaborated by e.g. reductive amination, Wittig reaction or related olefination reactions, etc.; ° Esterification with carboxylic acids or their activated surrogates. 4. (iv) Aryl halide or sulfonate derivatizations by e.g. Suzuki, Sonogashira, Buchwald, Negishi or Kumada coupling reactions etc. SW-7: Synthesis workflow for derivatizations of functional groups at the solid phase [0123] As a possible alternative to SW-6, macrocyclic compounds I with one or more orthogonally protected exocyclic functional groups and one free primary amino group can be converted into fully derivatized products on solid support as previously described for related macrocyclic compounds (WO2011/014973) by: a7) Attachment of the macrocyclic amine to an appropriately functionalized solid support by reductive amination; b7) Acylation, carbamoylation, or sulfonylation, of the secondary amine functionality generated in the previous step a7 or conversion of this secondary amine functionality into carbamates; c7) Removal of the protecting group from the second attachment point; d7) Derivatization of the liberated second functional group whereby e.g. amino groups can be alkylated or converted into amides, ureas, thioureas carbamates, or sulfonamides; and carboxylic acid moieties can be transformed into amides or esters; e7) Repetitions of steps c7 and d7 if a third, fourth etc. attachment point is available; f7) Release of the final product from the solid support.

[0124] In case of macrocyclic carboxylic acids the attachment to a polymer-supported amine is followed by derivatizations and release in analogy to c7 to f7: a8) Attachment of an amine to an appropriately functionalized solid support by reductive amination; b8) Coupling of the macrocyclic carboxylic acid to the polymer-supported amine of step a8; c8-f8) Derivatizations and release in analogy to steps c7-f7.

General procedures for synthetic steps utilized in SW-7

The functionalized solid support [0125] The solid support (polymer, resin) is preferably a derivative of polystyrene cross-linked with 1-5% divinylbenzene, of polystyrene coated with polyethyleneglycol (Tentagel™), or of polyacrylamide (D. Obrecht, J.-M. Villalgordo, Solid-Supported Combinatorial and Parallel Synthesis of Small-Molecular-Weight Compound Libraries, Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry Series, Vol. 17, Pergamon 1998). It is functionalized by means of a linker, i.e. an α,ω-bifunctional spacer molecule with an anchoring group for the solid support on one end, and on the other end by means of a selectively cleavable functional group that is used for subsequent transformations and finally for release of the product. For the examples of the present invention linkers are used that release an A/-acyl (amide, urea, carbamate) or an A/-sulfonyl (sulfonamide) derivative under acidic conditions. These kinds of linkers have been applied in the backbone amide linker (BAL) strategy for solid-phase synthesis of linear and cyclic peptides (K.J. Jensen et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 5441-5452; J. Alsina et al., Chem. Eur. J. 1999, 5, 2787-2795) and heterocyclic compounds as well (T.F. Flerpin et al., J. Comb. Chem. 2000, 2, 513-521; M. del Fresno et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 2639-2642; N.S. Gray et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1997,38, 1161-1164).

[0126] Examples of such functionalized resins include DFPE polystyrene (2-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-formylphenoxy)ethyl polystyrene), DFPEM polystyrene (2-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-formylphenoxy)ethoxymethyl polystyrene), FMPB resins (4-(4-formyl-3-methoxy-phenoxy)butyryl AM-resin), FMPE polystyrene HL (2-(4-formyl-3-methoxyphenoxy) ethyl polystyrene HL), FMPB NovaGel™ (4-(4-formyl-3-methoxyphenoxy)butyryl NovaGel; a PEG PS resin).

Attachment of the macrocvclic amine to the functionalized resin (steps a7 and b71 and subsequent M-acvlation or M-sulfonvlation [0127] The macrocyclic primary amine is attached to the functionalized solid support by reductive amination preferably with NaBH(OAc)3 as reducing agent in 1,2-dichloroethane and in the presence of trimethyl orthoformate or i-P^NEt.

[0128] The use of reductive aminations for such processes as well as the subsequent A/-acylation or A/-sulfonylation are well-documented; for example NaBhtøCN in DMF or in methanol, or NaBH(OAc)3 in DMF/acetic acid or in dichloromethane/acetic acid have been used (cf. references cited for the functionalized solid support). The A/-acylation is favorably conducted with carboxylic acids in the presence of coupling reagents like PyBOP, PyBroP, or FIATU or with carboxylic acid fluorides/ chlorides or carboxylic acid anhydrides.

Deprotection (steps c7t [0129] The second attachment point is an Alloc or Fmoc protected amino group or a carboxyl group protected as allyl ester. Standard methods (cf. SW-6) are applied for their deprotection and derivatization.

Release from the resin (step f7t [0130] The final products are detached from the solid support by acids dissolved in organic solvents and/or FI2O. The use of TFA in dichloromethane, of TFA in dichloromethane in the presence of a scavenger such as FI2O or dimethyl sulfide, or of TFA/FI2O and TFA/F^O/dimethylsulfide has been described (cf. references cited for the functionalized solid support).

Attachment of the macrocvclic carboxylic acid to the functionalized resin (steps a8 and b81 [0131] A primary amine is attached to the functionalized solid support by reductive amination preferably using NaBFI(OAc)3 in 1,2-dichloroethane in the presence of trimethyl orthoformate.

[0132] Subsequent acylation with the macrocyclic carboxylic acids is favorably conducted in the presence of coupling reagents like FIATU, PyBOP, or PyBroP.

[0133] It is worth mentioning that the initially attached primary amine corresponds to an attachment point derivatization of the carboxylic acid.

Properties and usefulness [0134] The macrocycles of type I of the present invention interact with specific biological targets. In particular, they show i) inhibitory activity on endothelin converting enzyme of subtype 1 (ECE-1), ii) inhibitory activity on the cysteine protease cathepsin S (CatS), iii) antagonistic activity on the oxytocin (OT) receptor), iv) antagonistic activity on the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRFH) receptor), v) agonistic activity on the bombesin 3 (BB3) receptor, vi) antagonistic activity on the leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor, and/or vii) antimicrobial activity against at least one bacterial strain, in particular Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Pettibone, Curr. Pharm. Des. 1996, 2, 41-58; A. D. Borthwick, J. Med. Chem. 2010, 53, 6525-6538); iv) diseases related to a dysfunction in the homoestatic system of the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), such as infantile spasms, generalized and refractory partial seizures, edematous and destructive forms of acute pancreatitis, and certain inflammatory disorders (e.g. autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, cancer-related fatigue or depression, and Alzheimer's disease) (P.-Y. Deng et al., J. Physiol. 2006, 497-511; J. Kamath et al., Pharmacol. Ther. 2009, 121,20-28); v) diseases related to a dysfunction of the bombesin 3 (BB3) receptor, like obesity and impairment of glucose metabolism, disorders of lung development, pulmonary diseases, CNS disorders and carcinogenesis (R. T. Jensen, Pharmacol. Rev. 2008, 60, 1-42); vi) diseases potentially treatable by blockade of the leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor, especially inflammatory and allergic diseases like asthma, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute lung injury (ALI), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, obliterative bronchiolitis after lung transplantation, or interstitial lung diseases (R.A. Goodnow, Jr., et al., J. Med. Chem. 2010, 53, 3502-3516; E.W. Gelfand et al., H. Ohnishi et., Allergol. Int. 2008, 57, 291-298); and/or vii) a wide range of infections caused by microorganisms, in particular strains of Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumonia, comprising infections related to: a) respiratory diseases like cystic fibrosis, emphysema, asthma or pneumonia, b) skin or soft tissue diseases such as surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, burn wounds or herpes, smallpox, rubella or measles, c) gastrointestinal diseases including epidemic diarrhea, necrotizing enterocolitis, typhlitis or gastroenteritis or pancreatitis, d) eye diseases such as keratitis and endophthalmitis, e) ear diseases, e.g. otitis, f) CNS diseases including brain abscess and meningitis or encephalitis, g) bone diseases such as osteochondritis and osteomyelitis, h) cardiovascular diseases like endocartitis and pericarditis, or i) genitourinal diseases such as epididymitis, prostatitis and urethritis (R.P Rennie, Handb. Exp. Pharmacol. 2012, 211, 45-65; W. Bereket et al., Eur. Rev. Med. Pharmacol. Sci. 2012, 16, 1039-1044; D.P Calfee, Curr. Opin. Infect. Dis. 2012, 25, 385-394). Additional uses of antimicrobial macrocycles of type I comprise the treatment or prevention of microbial infections in plants and animals or as disinfectants or preservatives for materials such as foodstuff, cosmetics, medicaments and other nutrient-containing materials.

[0136] The macrocycles, as such or after further optimization, may be administered per se or may be applied as an appropriate formulation together with carriers, diluents or excipients well-known in the art.

[0137] When used to treat or prevent the diseases mentioned above the macrocycles can be administered singly, as mixtures of several macrocycles, or in combination with other pharmaceutically active agents. The macrocycles can be administered per se or as pharmaceutical compositions.

[0138] Pharmaceutical compositions comprising macrocycles of the invention may be manufactured by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, coated tablet-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilizing processes. Pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, diluents, excipients or auxiliaries which facilitate processing of the active macrocycles into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation depends upon the method of administration chosen.

[0139] For topical administration the macrocycles of the invention may be formulated as solutions, gels, ointments, creams, suspensions, etc. as are well-known in the art. Systemic formulations include those designed for administration by injection, e.g. subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intrathecal or intraperitoneal injection, as well as those designed for transdermal, transmucosal, oral or pulmonary administration.

[0140] For injections, the macrocycles of type I may be formulated in adequate solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Flank's solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. The solutions may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the macrocycles of the invention may be in powder form for combination with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use.

[0141] For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation as known in the art.

[0142] For oral administration, the compounds can be readily formulated per se or by combining the active macrocycles of the invention with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carriers enable the macrocycles of type I to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions etc., for oral ingestion by a patient to be treated. For oral formulations such as, for example, powders, capsules and tablets, suitable excipients include fillers such as sugars, (e.g. lactose, sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol) or such as cellulose preparations (e.g. maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose); and/or granulating agents; and/or binding agents such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, desintegrating agents may be added, such as cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidones, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as sodium alginate. Solid dosage forms may be sugar-coated or enteric-coated using standard techniques.

[0143] For oral liquid preparations such as, for example, suspensions, elixirs and solutions, suitable carriers, excipients or diluents include water, glycols, oils, alcohols, etc. In addition, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents and the like may be added. For buccal administration, the composition may take the form of tablets, lozenges, etc. formulated as usual.

[0144] For administration by inhalation, the macrocycles of the invention are conveniently delivered in form of an aerosol spray from pressurized packs or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g. hydrofluoroalkanes (FIFA) such as FIFA 134a (1,1,1,2,-tetrafluoroethane); carbon dioxide or another suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol the dose unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of e.g. gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the macrocycles of the invention and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.

[0145] The compounds may also be formulated in rectal or vaginal compositions such as suppositories together with appropriate suppository bases like cocoa butter or other glycerides.

[0146] In addition to the formulations described above, the macrocycles of the invention may also be formulated as depot preparations. Such slow release, long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (e.g. subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. For the manufacture of such depot preparations the macrocycles of the invention may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (e.g. as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or with ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble salts.

[0147] Furthermore, other pharmaceutical delivery systems may be employed such as liposomes and emulsions. Certain organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide may also be employed. Additionally, the macrocycles of type I may be delivered using a sustained-release system, such as semi-permeable matrices of solid polymers containing the therapeutic agent. Various sustained-release materials have been established and are well-known by those skilled in the art. Sustained-release capsules may, depending on their chemical nature, release the compounds over a period of a few days up to several months. Depending on the chemical nature and the biological stability of the therapeutic agent, additional strategies for stabilization may be employed.

[0148] As the macrocycles of the invention may contain charged residues, they may be included in any of the above-described formulations as such or as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts tend to be more soluble in aqueous and other protic solvents than the corresponding free base or acid forms.

[0149] The macrocycles of the invention, or compositions thereof, will generally be used in an amount effective to achieve the intended purpose. It is understood that the amount used will depend on a particular application.

[0150] For example, the therapeutically effective dose for systemic administration can be estimated initially from in vitro assays: A dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating macrocycle concentration range that includes the IC5q or EC5q as determined in the cell culture (i.e. the concentration of a test compound that shows half maximal inhibitory concentration in case of antagonists or half maximal effective concentration in case agonists). Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans.

[0151] Initial dosages can also be determined from in vivo data, e.g. animal models, using techniques that are well known in the art.

[0152] Dosage amounts for applications such as gastroparesis or schizophrenia etc. may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active compound that are sufficient to maintain the therapeutic effect. Therapeutically effective serum levels may be achieved by administering multiple doses each day.

[0153] In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the macrocycles of the invention may not be related to plasma concentration. Those having the ordinary skill in the art will be able to optimize therapeutically effective dosages without undue experimentation.

[0154] The amount of macrocycle administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, on the subject's weight, the severity of the affliction, the method of administration and the judgment of the prescribing physician.

[0155] Normally, a therapeutically effective dose of the macrocycles described herein will provide therapeutic benefit without causing substantial toxicity.

[0156] Toxicity of the macrocycles can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., by determining the LD5q (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) or the LD-iqo (the dose lethal to 100% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effect is the therapeutic index. Compounds which exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtained from cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a dosage range that is not toxic for use in humans. The dosage of the macrocycles of the invention lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the effective dose with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within the range depending upon the dosage form and the route of administration. The exact formulation, route of administration and dose can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition (of. E. Fingl et al. in L. Goodman und A. Gilman (eds), The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 5th ed. 1975, Ch.1, p.1).

[0157] Another embodiment of the present invention may also include compounds, which are identical to the compounds of formula I, except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass number or mass different from the atomic mass number or mass usually found in nature, e.g. compounds enriched in 2H (D), 3H, 11C, 14C, 125l etc. These isotopic analogs and their pharmaceutical salts and formulations are considered useful agents in therapy and/or diagnostics, for example, but not limited to, fine-tuning of in vivo half-life.

Biological and pharmacological methods 1. Ca2+ flux assays for the GPCRs oxytocin receptor (OT receptor), thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor (TRH receptor) and bombesin receptor subtype 3 (BB3 receptor) [0463] Assays were performed on a FLIPRtetra fluorometric imaging plate reader (Molecular Devices) with ScreenWorks Version 2 (Molecular Devices) as device operating and data analysis software.

[0464] Dose dependent agonist and antagonist activities were determined. Percentage activation and percentage inhibition values were determined.

[0465] Percentage activation was determined upon initial addition of the sample compounds followed by 10 minutes' incubation at 25°C. Following compound incubation, reference agonists were added at ECeo to determine percentage inhibition.

[0466] Reference agonists were purchased from reputable commercial vendors and prepared according to each ligand's specifications. All handling of ligands were done to ensure proper control throughout the experiments.

[0467] Example compounds were weighed on a Microbalance (Mettler MX5) and dissolved in 100% DMSO to a final concentration of 2.5 mM and subsequently diluted into the assay buffer.

[0468] The assay buffer was a supplemented FIBSS (Hank's Balanced Salt Solution). HBSS was supplemented with 20 mM HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazin-1-ethansulfonic acid) and 2.5 mM Probenecid (Sigma P8761).

Assay plate seeding: [0469] GPCR assays were performed using Ca2+ optimized hematopoietic cell lines (rat) with cultures never exceeding 90% confluency. Cells were harvested and seeded (from cultures at less than 90% confluency) at 50000 cells/well for a 96-well plate (12500 cells/well for 384). After seeding, the assay plates were incubated for 45 minutes at room temperature. After room temperature incubation, the assay plates were incubated at 37°C 5% CO2 for 24 hours prior to assaying.

Calcium Dye Loading: [0470] All GPCR assays were performed using Fluo-8 Ca2+ dye.

[0471] Ca2+ dye was prepared at 1 x dye concentration in GPCR assay buffer. After 24 hours of incubation, cells were washed with GPCR assay buffer, and then Ca2+-dye (100 pL/well) was added.

[0472] The plates were incubated for 90 minutes at 30°C 5% CO2 prior to FLIPR assay.

Agonist assay: [0473] Compound plates were prepared to add 50 pL/well during the agonist assay mode. During the FLIPR assay, 50 pL/well from the compound plate was diluted 3-fold into the existing 100 pL/well from the dye loading step. Therefore all compounds were prepared as 3x the final concentration desired in the assay.

Antagonist assay: [0474] After completion of the first single addition assay run, assay plate was removed from the FLIPR Tetra and placed at 25°C for 7 minutes before antagonist assay.

[0475] Using the ECeo values determined during the agonist assay, all pre-incubated sample compound and reference antagonist (if applicable) wells were stimulated at the ECeo of the reference agonist. As reference ligands for these assays their obvious natural ligands oxytocin (OT), thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and bombesin (6-14) [BN(6-14)] were used.

[0476] After the addition of the reference agonist fluorescence was monitored for 180 sec using FLIPR Tetra.

Data analysis and results: [0477] From the FLIPR data, with negative control correction enabled, the maximum statistic for each well was exported and percentage activation relative to Emax control was calculated.

[0478] The results of the GPCR assays are summarized in Table 32.3 to Table 32.5. 2. Enzyme assays for the peptidase endothelin converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1) and for the cysteine protease cathepsin S (CatS) [0479] The assays were performed according to provider's (Ricerca Biosciences, LLC) protocols which in turn are based on literature procedures (for ECE-1 of.: O. Valdenaire et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 1999, 264, 341-349; F. D. Russell, A. P. Davenport, Circ. Res. 1999,84, 891-896; and for CatS: G P Shi et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1992, 267, 7258-62; D Bromme et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1993 268, 4832-4838.).

Procedures: [0480] 1. i) ECE-1 assav: Human recombinant ECE-1 expressed in murine myeloma cells NSO is used. Test compound and/or vehicle is preincubated with 20 ng/ml enzyme in modified MES buffer pH 6.0 for 15 minutes at 25°C. The reaction is initiated by addition of 10 mM Mca-Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Ala-Phe-Lys(Dnp) for another 60 minutes' incubation period. Determination of the amount of Mca-Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Ala formed is read spectrophotometrically at 320 nm/405 nm. Compounds are screened at 10 mM.

Reference Compound: Phosphoramidon (IC50 0.0049μΜ) 2. ii) Cats assay: Human recombinant cathepsin S expressed in a murine myeloma NS0 cells is used. Test compound and/or vehicle is preincubated with 0.1 pg/ml enzyme in modified acetate buffer pH 4.5 for 15 minutes at 25°C. The reaction is initiated by addition of 10 mM Z-Leu-Arg-AMC for another 30 minutes' incubation period. Determination of the amount of AMC formed is read spectrofluorimetrically at 360 nm/465 nm. Compounds are screened at 10 mM.

Reference Compound: E-64 (IC50 0.0014μΜ)

Data Analysis: [0481] IC5o values were determined by a non-linear, least squares regression analysis using MathlQ™ (ID Business Solutions Ltd., UK). Inhibition constants K were calculated according to the equation of Cheng and Prusoff (Y. Cheng, W. H. Prusoff, Biochem. Pharmacol. 1973, 22, 3099-3108) using the observed IC50 of the tested compound, the concentration of radioligand employed in the assay, and the historical values for the Kp of the ligand. The Hill coefficient (nH), defining the slope of the competitive binding curve, was calculated using MathlQ™.

[0482] The results of the assays are summarized in Table 32.1 and Table 32.2. 3. Human LTB4 receptor cell-based assay [0483] CHO mito-i-Photina® cells (Axxam SpA) stably expressing the human leukotriene B4 receptor (LTB4R) were used for monitoring activation of the target LTB4R, a GPCR (Gaq), by measuring the flash luminescence of Ca2+ sensitive photoprotein as reporter system with FLIPRtetra screening instrumentation (Molecular Devices) upgraded with an ICCD Camera (MDC). For data quality check and data analysis a Genedata Screener 10.0.3 was used, and for curve fitting of reference agonist and antagonist GraphPad Prism Software.

[0484] The reference agonist LTB4 and antagonist U-75302 were purchased from reputable commercial vendors and prepared according to each ligand's specifications. All handling of ligands were done to ensure proper control throughout the experiments. The steps of the implemented workflow and data analysis are mainly as follows:

Assay plate seeding: mito-i-Photina cells are seeded (10000 c/w in 384 MTP; in complete medium 25 μ L/well) for 24 hours, removed from the incubator, equilibrated at room temperature for 1 h, freed from the growth medium, loaded with 30 pL/well of Tyrode's buffer containing 10 μΜ coelenterazine, and incubated for 3 hours at rt.

Agonist/antagonist assay: [0485] All compounds were tested at 10 μΜ with triplicate data points.

[0486] After incubation, the volume in all the wells is flattened to 20 μΙ_ by aspiration with CyBi®-Vario pipettor. The First Injection (10 pL of test compounds or reference antagonist U-75302 in Tyrode's buffer + DMSO 0.5%) is performed by the FLIPRtetra and the kinetic response is monitored over a period of 120 seconds. Incubation at rt for 10 min. is followed by the Second Injection (15 pL of LTB4 at ECøo in Tyrode's buffer) and monitoring of the kinetic response over a period of 120 seconds.

Data analysis and results: [0487] The possible kinetic response is divided into two distinct phases: Monitoring the kinetic response after the First Injection is indicated as Compound Addition (CA) and measures the agonistic activity of compounds; monitoring the kinetic response after the Second Injection is indicated as Target Activation (TA) and measures the antagonistic activity of a compound.

[0488] The activity determination (IC50 determination) experiment is performed using LTB4 as agonist (100 nM corresponding to ECøo). Selected compound are tested in 8 doses intraplate dose response with quadruplicate data points.

[0489] The results of the LTB4R assays are summarized in Table 32.6. 4. Antimicrobial Assays [0490] The antimicrobial activities of the compounds were determined in 96-well plates (Greiner, polystyrene) by the standard NCCLS broth microdilution method (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards 1993. Methods for dilution antimicrobial susceptibility tests for bacteria that grow aerobically, 3rd ed. Approved standard M7-A6. National Committee for Clinical laboratory standards, Wayne, PA) with slight modifications. Inocula of the microorganisms were diluted into Mueller-Flinton II (ΜH, cation adjusted) broth + 0.002% P-80 and compared with a 0.5 McFarland standard to give appr. 106 colony forming units (CFU)/mL. Aliquots (50 μΙ) of inoculate were added to 50 μΙ of MFI broth + 0.002% P-80 containing the compounds in serial twofold dilutions. The following microorganisms were used to determine antibiotic selectivity of the compounds: S. pneumoniae DSM 20566 11A11,3313A6, 704CG4B21,82BERG72; S. aureus ATCC 29213, ATCC 25923, DSM 11729, DSM 46320, S. aureus 39. Antimicrobial activities of the compounds were expressed as the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) in pg/mL at which no visible growth was observed after 18-20 hours of incubation at 36 °C.

[0491] The results of the antimicrobial assays are summarized in Table 32.7 and Table 32.8. 5. Plasma and metabolic stability assays [0492] Example compounds were dissolved in DMSO/FI2O 90:10 to a final concentration of 10 mM for plasma stability determination and metabolic stability determination.

[0493] The assays were conducted according to literature precedents (F.P Guengerich, Analysis and Characterization of Enzymes; in: Principles and Methods of Toxicology, A.W. Flayes (Ed.) Raven Press: New York, 1989, 777-813; R. Singh et al., In vitro metabolism of a potent HIV-protease inhibitor (141W94) using rat, monkey and human liver S9, Rapid Commun. Mass Spectrom. 1996, 10, 1019-1026).

[0494] Results of the stability assays are listed in Table 33 below.

Plasma stability assay [0495] Human plasma (Blutspendedienst SRK, Basel) and CD-1 mouse plasma (mixed gender pool >50 animals, Innovative Research, CA, USA) are both sodium citrate stabilized. The assay is performed in triplicates at 10 μΜ compound concentration and 37°C. Samples are taken at 0, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 minutes and stopped by precipitation with 3 volumes of acetonitrile/formic acid 98:2 and shaking (2 minutes, 600 rpm) followed by filtration (-20 mm Hg). The filtrate is collected. The filtrate (100 pL) is evaporated and reconstituted in the suitable solvent (of. Table 33) to be analyzed by HPLC/MS/MS. The resulting peak area counts are expressed in percent of the 0 value and used to determine the endpoint stability in % and the half life Τ'Λ in minutes. In order to monitor assay integrity the degradation of propantheline is assayed with every experimental set.

Metabolic stability assay [0496] Microsomes from a human 50 donor mixed gender pool and 1:1 mixtures of microsomes from CD-1 mouse single-gender pools are purchased from Celsis (Belgium). The enzymatic reaction is performed in a buffer containing an NADPH regeneration system and microsomes with the following end concentrations: 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer (all from Sigma), 1 mg/mL glucose-6-phosphate, 1 mg/mL β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), 0.65 mg/mL magnesium chloride, 0.8 units/mL of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (prediluted with 5 mM citrate buffer), 10 pM compound and 1 mg/ml microsomal protein. Compounds are incubated at 37°C in duplicates and samples are taken after 0, 5, 10, 20 and 60 minutes. After acetonitrile precipitation (3 volumes), shaking (2 minutes, 600 rpm) followed by centrifugation (10 minutes, 3200 g), the supernatant is dried reconstituted in the suitable solvent (of. Table 33) and analyzed by HPLC/MS/MS. Metabolic turnover is expressed in % of the initial 0 minutes value and half life Τ'Λ (min) is calculated. Verapamil for human and propranolol for mouse are used as reference and are assayed with every experimental set.
